Curtains down on ‘Nudi Siri’

MOODBIDRI: “Alva’s Nudisiri”, a three-day conference on Kannada literature and culture, organised by Alva’s Education Foundation, concluded here on Sunday with senior litterateurs sounding an alarm that Kannada culture and literature could be sustained only if people used Kannada in day-to-day life with pride.
